## About this Devlog

I try to keep a log of major (and some minor) changes and new features going into flow as I work on
them.

You can [subscribe to this page via RSS]($link.page('devlog').alternative('rss')) and find more
devlog entries in the [archive](/devlog/).


## [Windows native clipboard support]($section.id("2024-12-24T14:58:00"))

I spent the morning dog-fooding flow on windows. I added native clipboard support, so now (finally)
pasting code blocks does not munge their formatting, and you can now use the regular `ctrl+v`
keybinding on windows instead of your terminal's paste function (ie. `ctrl+shift+v`). Also, I fixed
`alt+shift+` keybindings, which were broken on windows (and no-one seems to have noticed!?).


## [Binary releases]($section.id("2024-12-19T22:55:00"))

Flow Control get it's first binary release! 🎉🍾🥳

[neurocyte/flow/releases/tag/v0.2.0](https://github.com/neurocyte/flow/releases/tag/v0.2.0)


## [Auto UTF-8 sanitization]($section.id("2024-12-18T16:33:00"))

Flow will now read non UTF-8 files with out crashing. It'll do a simplistic 8bit to UTF-8
transcoding and display a warning in the status bar. Writing the file will save it as UTF-8 and
what you see is what you get. This is really simplistic, but at least for most western european
codepages it should pretty much do the right thing.

[]($image.asset('2024-12-18.png'))


## [File type palette]($section.id("2024-12-10T20:27:00"))

Another day, another feature. Today's feature-of-the-day is a new file type palette. You can now
change the current file type on the fly with the Change file type command.

[]($video.asset('2024-12-10_20-22-46.mp4').controls(true))


## [Keybind configuration]($section.id("2024-12-05T20:55:00"))

Today I merged the configurable keybindings branch! You can now customize your keybindings with the
`Edit key bindings` command. This will open the keybindings json file in the configuration
directory for the mode you are using. If the file does not yet exist it will be created from the
built-in configuration. You can also save your keybinding configuration under a new file name to
create a whole new keybinding mode.

To help with editing the keybindings there is a new command `insert_command_name` that will list
all available commands (not just those in the command palette) and insert the command name into the
current file. This is usually bound to `ctrl+f2`. Commands can take arguments which are hinted in
the `insert_command_name` list and may be added after the command name in the keybinding
declaration. For example: `["ctrl+f9", "set_theme", "1984"],`

Thank you to `@Robert Burnett` for getting the ball rolling on this and writing the vim style
keybind parser!

[]($video.asset('2024-12-05_20-40-45.mp4').controls(true))


## [Expand/shrink selection]($section.id("2024-11-25T22:10:00"))

Today I added implementations for the tree-sitter based expand/shrink selection commands. And also
select next/previous sibling commands. Now you can move your selection around based on the
tree-sitter syntax tree. These commands are bound to alt+shift+left/right and alt+home/end
respectively. (in flow mode)


## [Theme alpha channel support]($section.id("2024-11-04T23:29:00"))

Today I added proper support for alpha blending of theme colors. This fixes a lot of issues with
themes, especially light themes and should improve the overall polish of flow quite a bit.


## [New themes, new comamnds and more]($section.id("2024-10-29T22:10:00"))

Various minor features have been added over the past week. A new group of themes called Catppuccin.
Swift language syntax highlighting. A new command `Open previous file`, useful for toggling between
two files. And as always, many minor bug fixes and improvements.

Today I pushed a major refactor of our tree-sitter incremental parsing support. Flow now uses a
diff algorithm (dizzy) to generate tree-sitter edits on each frame (if there are changes) instead
of directly translating individual edit operations into tree-sitter edits on every change. This
seems to get us much more predicatable and reliable results from tree-sitter.

Major refactoring of the keybinding system is still underway. When that is complete we will be able
to move forward with support for dynamic keybindings. This will allow plugins to configure keybinds
at runtime.


## [Modal palettes]($section.id("2024-10-19T20:39:00"))

Small quality of life UI fix today. Palettes are now properly modal and you can cancel them by
clicking outside of the palette. This brings Flow a little closer to common GUI UI patterns. Also,
just for fun, added a slight dimming effect to the modal background.

[]($video.asset('Screencast_From_2024-10-19_20-36-37.webm').controls(true))

And a fade effect...

Fade effects are controlled by the `animation_max_lag` configuration parameter.


## [New args parser]($section.id("2024-10-14T20:42:00"))

Today flow's CLI got a nice revamp thanks to Joe Mckay and his flags zig library. This also brings
improved error messages on invalid parameters. Thanks Joe!

[]($image.asset('2024-10-14.png'))


## [Toggle highlighting]($section.id("2024-10-12T20:34:00"))

You can now toggle syntax highlighting with `S-F10` or the `Toggle syntax highlighting` command.
This is not persistent, it's just for the currently open file. Also, the `--no-syntax` command line
option will now leave LSP support and file type detection enabled and just disable syntax
highlighting globally for the current session. You can still then turn it back on with `Toggle
syntax highlighting`.


## [Improved whitespace rendering]($section.id("2024-10-10T23:30:00"))

Today I made some improvements to whitespace rendering. Indent size and tab width are now
configurable and there is a third whitespace rendering mode that renders indent guides.

Also, I added proper support for editing CRLF files and changing the line ending mode a couple of
weeks ago and forgot to mention it here before going on vacation.


## [Hover]($section.id("2024-09-10T22:04:00"))

Today's feature is hover information support. Hold down Alt and hover with the mouse to fire off a
hover LSP request. You can also use the keybinding, <Ctrl-k Ctrl-i> in flow/vim mode and <Space k>
in helix mode. Also, Alt-LeftClick is goto_definition, which complements hover mode nicely
(goto_definition is not new though).

The information view is fairly simple. It does not render the markdown or allow clicking on links
in the content yet.

[]($video.asset('Screencast_from_2024-09-10_21-56-03.webm').controls(true))


## [Save as]($section.id("2024-08-30T21:16:00"))

Feature of the day. Save As! The save as command uses the same file browser mini mode as open file,
so you can complete existing directory and file names. This can be used to copy, replace or create
new files.

[]($video.asset('Screencast_from_2024-08-30_21-13-02.webm').controls(true))


## [Improved open file completion]($section.id("2024-08-29T21:50:00"))

Pressing tab at the open file now completes from with a simple prefix match just in the directory
instead of fuzzy matching across the entire project. This is much more like vim, emacs, vscode,
etc. and lays some ground work for adding a file browser later.


## [Format on save]($section.id("2024-08-27T22:55:00"))

Flow can now automatically format on save. You can enable it in the configuration file with the
`enable_format_on_save` option.


## [Open file fuzzy completion]($section.id("2024-08-26T22:00:00"))

Pressing tab at the open file prompt will now fuzzy complete the file name from the project MRU
file list. Pressing tab multiple time will cycle to  the next best matching file.


## [Clock widget & beam cursor]($section.id("2024-08-26T21:09:00"))

I've added a simple clock widget. You can add it to your bars wherever you want with the "clock"
tag. It is not enabled by default.

[]($image.asset('2024-08-26.png'))

Thanks to @rockorager vim & helix modes will now show a beam cursor in insert mode and an underline
cursor in visual/select mode if you have "enable_terminal_cursor" turned on in your config. Only on
the primary cursor though as terminals do not support more than one native cursor.


## [Status bar configuration]($section.id("2024-08-25T21:32:00"))

Flow's statusbar is now much more configurable. Instead of individual config switches to
enable/disable each widget, you can now configure the position of each widget with a string. Also,
there is now an optional top bar too and a new expander widget to help centering or spacing out
widgets. Have fun!

[]($video.asset('Screencast_from_2024-08-25_21-25-50.mp4').controls(true))


## [Open recent project]($section.id("2024-08-19T23:28:00"))

Today I finally implemented the open recent project command. Now you can quickly switch projects
with C-r. Switching projects will also change the current working directory in the terminal so that
new terminal splits and tabs will open at the correct location.

[]($video.asset('2024-08-19_flow_open_recent_project.webm').controls(true))


## [Cross file diagnostics]($section.id("2024-08-17T16:43:00"))

Today's feature is diagnostics in other files. If your LSP returns diagnostics messages for a file
(or files) you are not currently editing, then flow will display them in the file list panel and
let you jump to the location with A-n or mouse click.

You can also show diagnostics for the current file with C-S-m or by clicking on the diagnostics
summary in the status bar.

[]($video.asset('2024-08-18_flow_diagnostics_file_list_view.webm').controls(true))


## [Find all references]($section.id("2024-08-17T23:59:00"))

Today I finished off the find all references command. Enjoy!

[]($video.asset('Screencast_from_2024-08-17_23-53-42.mp4').controls(true))


## [Non-tree-sitter build support]($section.id("2024-08-16T22:59:00"))

You can now build Flow entirely without tree-sitter with zig build -Duse_tree_sitter=false. This
will give you a tiny executable that is much more suitable for really small devices. Add it to all
your docker containers and never use nano ever again! (ok, it's not quite that small)

Also, you can now start the regular build of flow with --no-syntax if for some reason you don't
want syntax highlighting.

Also, 32 bit arm builds should now work. (with -Duse_tree_sitter=false)


## [Find all refs prep work]($section.id("2024-08-16T00:13:00"))

Started work on the find all references command (S-f12). It is working already, but I still need to
add more detail to the results list. Also, you have to manually clear the list at the moment (C-j).
Navigation of the results works the same as with find in files.


## [Theme panel]($section.id("2024-08-14T21:33:00"))

Feature of the day today is a new way to select themes. The list is getting long, so now there is a
palette just for selecting themes. This also brings easily reusable palettes, so adding other
features that need a palette type interface is now easy.

[]($video.asset('Screencast_from_2024-08-14_21-30-26.webm').controls(true))


## [Panel views mouse control]($section.id("2024-08-13T19:48:00"))

Flow's panel views can now be resized with the mouse!

[]($video.asset('2024-08-13_flow_panel_resize.webm').controls(true))


## [File list view keybinds and terminal background]($section.id("2024-08-12T23:28:00"))

Today I added up/down/enter keybindings to find in files mode so it is possible to browse the match
list via keyboard before jumping to a specific match.

Also, flow now sets the terminal background color to match the selected theme. This makes borders a
little less ugly if your terminal does not resize in grid steps. It also reduces resizing flicker
on some terminals and enables transparency effects on others.


## [File list view update]($section.id("2024-08-11T22:42:00"))

Today I finished off the file list view. It is now scrollable with keyboard, mouse wheel and
scrollbar. Also made it a little prettier. I fixed a few minor issues with the command palette too.

[]($video.asset('2024-08-11_flow_filelist_view.mp4').controls(true))

Oops, I forgot to record the mouse cursor. 😂 You all get the idea  though I hope.


## [Windows TLC]($section.id("2024-08-08T22:53:00"))

I gave the windows version some TLC today. Subprocess stdin input now works correctly and the
project manager encodes and decodes LSP URLs with windows file paths.

This means that language server and language formatter support in Windows is now on par with Linux
and MacOS. 🎉 

Pasting on windows now uses the internal clipboard by default as Windows doesn't support bracketed
paste. You can still paste from the system clipboard with C-S-v.


## [Fixing]($section.id("2024-08-07T21:58:00"))

Mostly bug fixing today. In-band resize support is properly reset on exit now which eliminates the
junk at your prompt if you resize your terminal after exiting flow. Also, find_in_files will no
longer cause an integer overflow error if it matches the beginning of a line.


## [Extra large file support]($section.id("2024-08-05T22:13:00"))

Support for loading very very large files is now merged. I've tested files up to around 270 million
lines large at around 4GB. File size should now be limited only by the available memory. Required
RAM is around 8 times the file size. On my machine loads files at around 8 seconds per GB, which I
think is fairly acceptable.


## [CLI list languages and execute commands]($section.id("2024-07-30T22:21:00"))

Today I added some CLI arguments:
```
        --list-languages
            Show available languages.

    -e, --exec <command>...
            Excute a command on startup.
```

`--exec` allows you to execute mini scripts on flow startup.

For example to change flow's whitespace setting:

```
flow --exec toggle_whitespace --exec quit
```

Or open and move to the end of a file:

```
flow src/main.zig --exec move_buffer_end
```


## [Performance tuning]($section.id("2024-07-29T22:12:00"))

Two major performance enhancements today. One to make tree-sitter re-parsing not require a
re-serialization of the entire buffer on every edit. And the second dramatically reduces the number
of egc_length calls (aka, graphemeIterator) needed to create tree-sitter edit updates. Editing
very, very large files (Sema.zig anyone?) should now be lag free again, at least for one cursor,
and editing with multiple cursors should scale much better.


## [File list jump commands]($section.id("2024-07-28T22:51:00"))

Today I've added commands and keybindings (A-n/p) for jumping through the file list view. These are
the same keybindings as next/previous diagnostic, but they are only active if the file list is
visible.

[]($video.asset('Screencast_from_2024-07-28_22-47-40.mp4').controls(true))


## [Find in files results]($section.id("2024-07-28T00:06:00"))

Today I did some more work on a results list for the find in files command. It's not quite complete
yet, but already quite usable.

[]($video.asset('2024-07-28_00-04-01.mp4').controls(true))


## [Recent files & superhtml]($section.id("2024-07-22T23:46:00"))

I'm back from vacation and development work will now continue. Today brings some minor improvements
to the rendering of the open recent file list and superhtml support (shtml).


## [New language support]($section.id("2024-07-10T22:03:00"))

Added yaml syntax highlighting today. Previously also added nim, nimble and kdl.


## [Colored undercurls]($section.id("2024-07-09T23:46:00"))

Flow now has colored undercurls for diagnostics.

[]($image.asset('2024-07-09.png'))

(if the terminal supports them)


## [Just fixing]($section.id("2024-07-09T15:38:00"))

Sorry that the dev-log is so quiet. I haven't stopped working on flow or anything, but it's been
all fixes and tweaks for the last week or so. I only report on new user visible features here. And
then only if they're not discussed in any of the other channels.


## [Windows fixes]($section.id("2024-06-27T22:28:00"))

Lot of fixes for flow on windows today. Fuzzy find, window size, some integer overflows and
subprocess calls. Just LSP URIs left to fix.

Also, the inspector view is now working again (everywhere).


## [CLI project support]($section.id("2024-06-23T21:41:00"))

You can now open directories (aka projects) on the command line. Only one is allowed. All other
files on the same command line will be opened relative to this project.


## [Command palette MRU persistence]($section.id("2024-06-23T19:31:00"))

Last used times are now persisted in `~/.local/state/flow/commands`


## [State moved]($section.id("2024-06-23T15:53:00"))

Flow now stores it's state files in `~/.cache/flow` instead of `~/.local/state/flow`

This better matches the XDG Base Directory Specification.

Move your existing state files with `mv ~/.cache/flow ~/.local/state` if you want to keep them.


## [Command palette MRU ordered]($section.id("2024-06-22T22:00:00"))

The command palette is now sorted by last used time. This helps a lot with repeating commands. Last
used time is not persisted across sessions yet though.


## [Command palette improvements]($section.id("2024-06-21T01:24:00"))

Today's blood sweat and tears brings keybinding hints, a scrollbar and page down/up commands to the
command palette. 😅

[]($image.asset('2024-06-21.png'))

This should help discoverability a lot for all those who were too lazy to RTFM.  (that's me 10
minutes after adding yet another keybinding 😂)


## [Command palette fuzzy matching]($section.id("2024-06-19T17:47:00"))

Fuzzy matching is now supported in the command palette and clicking the flow button will now open
the command palette instead of switching input modes. Also fixed a crash with large bracketed paste
operations (C-S-v in most terminals).

Still to come in the palette, English command descriptions (docstrings), active keybinding hints,
MRU ordering persistence and (maybe/probably) command argument parsing with syntax hints.


## [Bug fixes & command palette]($section.id("2024-06-14T21:52:00"))

A few bug fixes today. Mostly fix for mouse and resize handling of menus and buttons.

Also, started work on the command palette. Lot's to do still. Fuzzy find, show keybindings, last
recently used sorting, etc.

Here's something to look at in the mean time:

[]($image.asset('2024-06-14.png'))


## [FreeBSD]($section.id("2024-06-13T12:20:00"))

Flow Control now runs on FreeBSD too!


## [Windows port has landed!]($section.id("2024-06-08T20:42:00"))

Aaaannd it's merged!

libvaxis is now the default (actually only) renderer. This brings way broader terminal support and
flow now runs pretty much anywhere, including Windows!

[]($image.asset('2024-06-08.png'))

Windows support still has a couple of limitations (and bugs). Most notably, no mouse support and
language server support is currently still in progress.


## [Windows porting]($section.id("2024-06-07T22:27:00"))

Getting close...

[]($image.asset('2024-06-07.png'))


## [Notcurses dropped]($section.id("2024-06-07T16:57:00"))

I've dropped notcurses entirely in the version next branch. Doesn't seem like it has any value now
and I don't need any extra maintenance burden.


## [Windows support in thespian]($section.id("2024-06-07T16:53:00"))

Thespian is building on windows now. I just need to add a windows variant of thespian's async
subprocess API, and then I can start porting flow to windows.


## [libvaxis backend completed]($section.id("2024-05-23T22:40:00"))

The libvaxis backend is now complete and far surpasses the notcurses backend in terms of
compatibility. With libvaxis Flow now renders correctly in kitty, ghostty, iterm2, gnome-terminal,
konsole, xterm, rxvt, alacritty, wezterm, foot, windows terminal and probably most others. Unicode
works correctly in macos now (there were width bugs cause by macos libc) and cross compiling works
everywhere (except for windows targets) with no additional dependencies to install.

I will switch the default backend to libvaxis as soon as I get around to re-writing the readme
build section. I may even remove the notcurses backend soon as there seems like no reason to keep
it, but I wait a little while just to be safe.

Flow Control in iTerm2
[]($image.asset('2024-05-23-iterm2.png'))

Flow Control in Windows Terminal
[]($image.asset('2024-05-23-windows-terminal.png'))


## [libvaxis copy & paste]($section.id("2024-05-22T12:37:00"))

Still working on the new libvaxis backend. Lot's of changes to get it feature equivalent to the
notcurses backend. I'm trying to keep as much as possible upstream so other zig TUI apps can
benefit. Yesterday I added  osc52 support to libvaxis (copy/paste) and today I will add detection
of pixel mouse coordinate support. Then it's hopefully just some bug fixing (drag detection,
perhaps others) and I can think about making libvaxis the new default.


## [to_upper/lower]($section.id("2024-05-12T00:20:00"))

Today I added to_upper and to_lower commands. Bound to Alt-u and Alt-l.


## [Add remaining libvaxis styles]($section.id("2024-05-10T22:56:00"))

I've added the remaining styles to the libvaxis renderer. notcurses and libvaxis backends should
look identical now.


## [libvaxis preview release]($section.id("2024-05-10T12:56:00"))

I have pushed the work-in-progress libvaxis backend to master and will continue work there. It is
not enabled by default. If you want to try it out build with `-Duse_vaxis=true` which will produce
`zig-out/bin/flow-vaxis`.


## [libvaxis nearing compleation]($section.id("2024-05-10T11:54:00"))

The libvaxis backend is nearing completion. Render times look good, although it's not quite a
perfect apples to apples comparison just yet because a few styles are still incomplete in the
libvaxis version. That difference should be pretty minor though so I don't expect this comparison
to really change much.

[]($image.asset('2024-05-10.png'))


## [libvaxis progress]($section.id("2024-05-09T00:59:00"))

libvaxis support is still a work in progress. I have most of the backend implemented, but I am
battling to smooth out the bugs. There are a few major semantic  differences between notcurses
planes and libvaxis windows that I haven't handled quite right yet.


## [LSP & tree-sitter sync fix]($section.id("2024-05-09T00:39:00"))

Today I fixed tree-sitter and/or LSP getting out of sync when editing. Both should stay properly
synced now.


## [Refactor completed]($section.id("2024-05-01T16:59:00"))

Refactoring complete. The TUI layer in Flow no longer directly depends on notcurses. 🎉 

Time to start real work on a libvaxis renderer.

[]($image.asset('2024-05-01.png'))


## [Refactoring renderer]($section.id("2024-04-27T23:24:00"))

Development has not stalled. I'm working on a major refactor to bring in libvaxis as an alternative
rendering backend. libvaxis is mostly on par with notcurses already, and moving forward I'd rather
work on/contribute to upstream libraries written in zig.


## [Diagnostics rendering]($section.id("2024-04-20T00:07:00"))

Added rendering of diagnostics and goto next/previous diagnostic commands. (bount to Alt-n and
Alt-p). Also added diagnostic counter widget to the status bar and fixed several bugs.

[]($image.asset('2024-04-20.png'))


## [LSP diagnostics prep work]($section.id("2024-04-16T23:27:00"))

Added processing of textDocument/publishDiagnostics notification message from the language server.
Ready to be rendered, but so far just logged.


## [Fuzzy finding]($section.id("2024-04-15T21:36:00"))

Added fuzzy finding in the recent files list via fuzzig, a nice zig fuzzy finder library that was
released yesterday. Also fixed a couple of shutdown issues and an issue causing goto_definition and
get_mru_position to over write each other.


## [Most recently used persistence]($section.id("2024-04-11T23:04:00"))

Today I added saving and restoring of the most-recently-used info on a per project basis. So the
order of the open recent file list and the last cursor position will now persist across sessions.


## [Vim bindings]($section.id("2024-04-09T23:11:00"))

Updated the vim bindings to enable open recent, goto definition and jump mode.


## [Recent files tweaks]($section.id("2024-04-09T22:42:00"))

Added lots of QOL tweaks to the recent files handling. The recent files list is now updated by most
recently used and the last file line column stored and restored on file switch. This means
switching back and forth between two (or more) files is as quick as double tapping Ctrl-e.


## [Mouse goto definition]($section.id("2024-04-09T19:25:00"))

Added cross file location history today and also cleaned up the location history tracking logic a
lot. This, in combination with goto defintion, makes source navigation nice and slick. Also added
mouse bindings for goto_definition (alt-leftclick) and jump_back/forward (button8/button9) so you
can browse source comfortably with just the mouse.

[]($video.asset('2024-04-09_flow_goto_definition.mp4').controls(true))


## [Traces]($section.id("2024-04-08T22:38:00"))

Mostly bug fixing today. Goto definition should be stable now. Also added a cli option to write
traces to a file (~/.cache/flow/trace.log) so you don't have to use tracy to see what is going on
inside flow. Add it multiple times (up to five) to get overloaded with detail. Next up will be
cross file location history and then after that I'll probably start work on completion.


## [LSP goto definition]($section.id("2024-04-05T23:03:00"))

Today I got the first language server use case working. Goto definition works, at least for zls and
clangd! Lot's of issues still to fix, e.g. there is no cross file location history support yet, so
navigating back from a goto def is a bit of a pain. Probably more than a couple bugs too. But hey,
it still feels like a big step forward! 😃🍾


## [More LSP progress]($section.id("2024-04-04T22:00:00"))

More work on LSP today. Got my first valid response from clangd to a textDocument/definition
request! Unfortunately zls is still giving me InvalidRequest responses, even though my request is
identical to the one sent by vscode. 🤷


## [Modifer state tracking]($section.id("2024-04-01T22:39:00"))

Added modifier state tracking today, along with a few other minor bug fixes. Modifier state, used
for ctrl-click, fast scroll and few other features, can no longer get stuck if your terminal drops
key events. This could happen previously on focus change. Now the modifier state will automatically
re-sync when you switch back to the terminal running flow.


## [More multi-cursor and some LSP]($section.id("2024-03-31T22:52:00"))

Added two minor multi-cursor commands today. Add cursors to all matches (Ctrl-Shift-l) and Add
cursors to line ends (Shift-Alt-i). More for completness than anything else. I don't really use
these myself.

Also, I continued working on LSP support. Started work on goto defintion via LSP. Still lot's to do
though before LSP is usable.


## [Open recent file search box]($section.id("2024-03-28T22:42:00"))

Today I finished the basic functionality of the open recent file search box.

There are still a few important details to add, like sorting the list by persisted MRU for example.

## [Bracketed paste]($section.id("2024-03-20T21:52:00"))

Today I've added support for bracketed paste. This means that pasting into the editor with your
terminal's paste function instead of flow's own paste keybind should work just as well as flow's
native paste command. No more endless undo steps because you pasted with the wrong keybind and no
more annoying auto-indent reformatting of pastes. This is especially nice if you often paste from a
clipboard manager application like I do.


## [Cursor collapsing]($section.id("2024-03-12T23:57:00"))

Today I added cursor collapsing. Now cursors are removed if they end up pointing to the same
location as another cursor after a move operation.


## [Multi cursor copy & paste]($section.id("2024-03-11T21:48:00"))

Today I finally added the finishing touches on multi-cursor support. Cut, copy & paste!
Multi-cursor is now complete.

## [Widgets]($section.id("2024-03-06T00:54:11"))

I did some work on widgets today. Prep work for things like completion menus and command palette.
The menu on the home screen is now composed out of widgets that support mouse interaction, instead
of just a bunch of text printed to the plane.
